Scooter Update, aka: Avoiding the boredom doldrums:

Grandson and his younger sister are due here next Saturday for a week's vacation from parental rules, order, bedtime hours, nutritious snacks, G-rated movies and whatever else rubs 'em the wrong way. It's my job and I'm danged proud of it. I have been told by their parental units that it requires a minimum of 30 days to re-train them. Damn, I'm good!

Plan to solo the lad on the SunL scooter -and doing so without checking in with parents- so have put off the Big Bore install until they return to their wardens. However, I did fit the higher voltage coil and the performance CDI ignition unit. Test ride imminent...

The neighborhood street in front of my back fence Beemer buddy has a slight uphill gradient. In a one-block run, 30mph is the best I've ever achieved. The new ignition components alone gave me a 20% speed improvement to 35+mph. That's with a $19.95 investment.

Stay tuned as I'm sure there will further be further adventures to mention in despatch. Oh, and photos or it didn't happen.

Careful Monte. Next thing you know you'll be installing a stretched swingarm and a tuned exhaust.   :D
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

It ain't no Ruckus. I've seen some of those extreme scooters. Now then, that new Honda Grom...

No bullet fairing, Justin. It already has a semi-sorta partial "dustbin" Dempsey-Dumpster bodywork. I did attach a leftover BMW tank roundel to the front leg shield. Amazing how many peeps see it and marvel at, "your small BMW scooter".
